New York Influence Watched in Naming New Baseball Head Senator Walker Believed Man Who Will Become Commission Chairman. CHICAGO. Fob. 23. Baseball fans are now awaiting the announcement from President Johnson of the American league and President Heydler of the National league of the man chosen to be chairman of the national commission in place of Garry Herrmann. They are wondering if the appointment, will prove Johnson as victor In the recent controversy and wnetker a man will be chosen wjio will iron out some of the difficulties that perplex organized baseball. Who will it be? Johnson and Heydler have five names to consider. Judge Kenesaw M. Landis of the federal bench was on the list but he has withdrawn his name from consideration. One Chicago man is left on the list — Harvev T. Woodruff, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune. He is a wise veteran In sports, a man of integrity and without bias. He has received the endorse ment of the newspaper men of the country Interested in the national game, and it has been said that he bears the stamp of approval from both Johnson and Hevdler. Since the withdrawal of Judge Landis he has been spoken of as the leading candidate. The chairman will he announced one of these days and until then the fans can only surmise. Rut there are plenty of under-the-surfaoo things which make surmising interesting. The unprejudiced observer lamping thing;, from a convenient spot notices several things. He notices that the New York Giants are the most influential team in organzed base tali. He notices that President Stoneham had a great deni to say. during the recent Chicago meeting, about the readjustment intended to bring about peace.

GOTHAM HEAVY FINANCIAL AID. He notices, also that the greatest financial benefit which baseball has received in re-’ent years comes from the New York law permitting • Sunday baseball. This law has brought big revenues not onlv to the Giants and Yankees, but also to ail the other teams which play Sun day games In New Y’ork. It is vitally interesting to all big league teams that Sunday baseball be retained in New York and spreid to Mcs.-mchusetts and Pennsylvania, if possible.. Among the men mentioned for the chairmanship—in addition to Judge Landis and Woodruff are "Big Bill” Edwards, former football star, now a New York politician: .1. C. Toole, an eastern attorney: Bob Young of Washington, and J. .T. Walker, a state senator of New York. Now. State Senator Walker is the man who had most to do with putting over the new law in his state allowing baseball games on Sunday. The owner of the most Influential team is naturally the warmest adherent of the Sunday baseball law and he had the most to say In determining affairs at the Chicago joint conference of magnates. After having noticed all these factors what's the best guess? Answer: That State Senator Walker Is the man slated to succeed Garry Herr mann.

Manual, 27; Richmond, 12. THE POST MORTEM. The two outstanding features of the week-end basket contests were Manual’s 27-to-12 victory over Richmond and the fine game the Shortridgers put up at Martinsville. The former contest, while not particularly noteworthy for "inside’’ stuff, showed that the south sidprs are worthy of the splendid support that has been accorded them by their student body, and their "comeback" is taken by all Manualitea to mean that the Red and White quint will fight to the last ditch in the district secHonal battle a few days benee. It seemed to be the opinion of Martinsville fans Saturday night that Shortridge provided the strongest opposition that the Morgan county quint has had this Season. It was a bang-up exhibition of the great Indoor sport, was anybody's game until the final pop of the gun, and the 3 point difference in the score might easily be figured as the advantage of a home floor. Blue and White followers claim the showing made puts them right up among the state championship contenders. Incidentally, the Martinsville folks called attention to the fact that the Martinsville team which was defeated by Columbus last Friday night was the “second” team. The dope also behaved in the Shortridge Pendleton fracas, and the north aiders rung up 11 points for every one of the 3 which Pendleton counted. Not a single field goal was registered by the Madison county hoys, o ho were clearly outclassed. Three of the local schools have trimmed Pendleton this season—Shortridge (33 to 3), Manna! (IS to 17) and Technical (25 to 9). Technical ran true to form and easilycopped th Muneie contest. The brilliant work of Griggs made up In a way for the nhsenee of Slaughter. Two of the local teams have defeated Muneie 0.1 the Muneie floor—Shortridge (25 to 15) and Technical (25 to 17).
